OK, the newspapers in England, well, we've got quite a lot of newspapers,
some of the more serious ones like The Times. Then you got the middle of
the range, things like the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, and then you
got the British tabloids, which were quite famous for, and the tabloids
are quite interesting. Basically, the tabloids are just gossip, and they
will report anything and everything in great detail. Um, a lot of people
kind of disapprove of the tabloids but personally I find them quite interesting
and entertaining. In our house, we have a tabloid newspaper, The Daily Mirror
and we have the Daily Mail as well. And in the Mirror you'll get all the
gossip, and things like horoscopes, and real celebrity news like recently
you've had the David Beckham thing that he's been having an affair, and
that was interesting. It went into real detail all the text messages that
they sent and everything, uh, and it is kind of, it is just gossip, but
then many people get the tabloids because it reports the sport in a lot
of detail, so a lot of men get the, for the football scores and horse racing
and everything.
